Who We Are

Crea•trix Util•is — INTERACTIVE ART

Crea•trix Fab•rica Util•is

The Renaissance Staff was so well received that a new head design was requested and later shipped to the client.

While everything we do is technically interactive art, sometimes it needs no other reason to exist except for your enjoyment. Even when you’re not working on a film or other production—no script calling for an undead space cyborg, a fairy unicorn or hyper-intelligent dolphin tree—your life can use a little “production design” too. Maybe something to brighten up the foyer? Something intricate for the den? Something fun for the kids’ room? A special effect for the living room? How about a unique gift for a one of kind person? Bringing magic to people’s personal lives is what we live for.

Vis•io Ping•unt — MAKEUP

Vis•io Ping•unt

The Brothers Bloom: Matching continuity is a challenge for any artist. An even bigger challenge is matching another artist’s work. For the film The Brothers Bloom, we had to do just that on Mark Ruffalo. This is the continuity match we did for pickup shots in Los Angeles.

A true makeup artist does not paint the face, they sculpt it. Using simple tricks of light and shadow, or the latest state of the art prosthetic technology, we reach beyond the normal limitations of human bone structure to create a new living breathing being.

Par•at•us — ''GEAR UP''

Par•at•us

Individuals that have the resources to enjoy themselves without limitation always manage to find Rogue Planet Laboratories.

We like to call this “wearable effects.” Not costumes, we’re talking functional, camera-ready effects that no character can leave home without. While a temporal displacement shoulder-mounted clockwork we build for you may not actually be able to throw you through time, it sure will look like it can! Need a helicopter-mount that sprouts from your backpack? Need blades to spring from your forearms? Need more forearms?! We got you covered.

Scalp•tura — SCULPTING

Scalp•tura

Red Skull in red clay.

Technically speaking, everything we do is sculpture in one form or another. This traditional art form is the beating heart behind all the magic we create—and keeping an open connection with the vital roots of our craft is essential for staying sharp and fueling the innovation that allows us to push boundaries into the future.

Linea Pro•duct•or•um — PRODUCT LINE

Linea Pro•duct•or•um

Screecher wants you to use Rogue Planet Laboratories’ professional quality products.

Fab•ri•ca•tio — FABRICATION

Fab•ri•ca•tio

With the flip of a switch, the evil Terminator eye reveals itself.

This is an area where we really stand out. Here, we’re no longer limited by the human, or even common structures of the natural world—our inherent talents for problem solving is unleashed! Go ahead; we dare you to challenge us. We have yet to face a challenge we couldn’t solve. You want a rat to chew its way out of a box; wait, maybe there’s a cockroach running around that same box at the same time and then the rat steps out, smashing the cockroach and squishing the gooey insides all over? Maybe just a cigar you can smoke underwater? Yeah, we’ve done all that. What else you got? Bring us your challenge!

Arm•um — ARMAMENTS

Arm•um

Hydra Guns: These Captain America inspired Hydra guns were made for a collector on the east coast. unfortunately this was the only shot we could get before they were rushed out the door to make an unrealistic deadline. Made primarily of ABS plastic and high impact epoxy

Searching for a sleek new blaster to vaporize the invading hoards from Betelgeuse? Need a lightning trident to face the Kraken? Need a chainsaw machete with a built-in dispenser for hand sanitizer to survive the zombie apocalypse? Consider us your one-stop shop!

Mor•di•ces — ''CHOMPERS''

Mor•di•ces

Red Velvet Teeth: This one time, on the set of Red Velvet, Henry Thomas got a bunch of his teeth knocked out. Not really, we just made him an acrylic dental appliance.

To truly get to the meat of a character, a unique smile makes all the difference—think Dracula, Alien and even Alfred E. Neuman. Using only the highest quality dental grade materials, we construct dental appliances that are realistic, durable and—most importantly—comfortable. So, whether you need to chew the scenery or insure that you can bite off more and still chew it, you’ll be glad you chewsed us!

In•fuso•rium — MOULDS

In•fuso•rium

Six-part moulds were necessary to complete the intricate guards.

In order to take a sculpture from form to function, the sculpture must meet with the equally classic craft of mold making, elevated to a level of precision that allows for flawless replication. Transforming finely shaped clay into something that can be used or abused is a refined art unto itself. Mold making can be the most expensive part of any fabrication process and the client should always get their money’s worth. A good mold needs to capture every minute detail of the sculpture, while being durable and functional. Rogue Planet has no use for a mold that falls apart after the first pull.

Clan•dest•in•um — ESPIONAGE

Clan•dest•in•um

Old Chinese Man: One of our favorite finished pieces this decommissioned surveillance / counter surveillance mask was a silicone pullover. Every character must have a story and this character was developed for an Asia based client.

Rogue Planet is specialized in aiding individuals and organizations with materials essential in covert surveillance and counter surveillance as well as customized diversionary tactics.
